Thanks. > Nmake is the microsoft version of make. It comes with MSDEV. What is MSDEV? Is it free or not? Does it come with Visual Studio or Visual C++ or is it included in the msdn package from msdn.microsoft.com? In any case I guess I should be able to use GNU make. By the way do you have the as assembler installed in your bin directory? What version of cygwin are you using? Thanks! Neil -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
